Default Happy Snowman
Someone gave me a pattern for a snowman from a publication but I don't recall which one. I needed a pattern since here in South Louisiana our snowmen all look like...water. This one looks happy and I enjoyed carving him. I would be interested in seeing others snow people.

Nice job Jim!

He does look happy, lucky for him he is wood.
Nice job on the painting too.
Thanks for sharing, I'll stick one of mine on tonight.

Jim, he is very cute! That is exactly how a snowman is supposed to look. You did a great job of capturing his spirit!

Looks like a happy one to me. I can't imagine how you could get a bigger smile on his face.
